Micronutrient Deficiencies and Lung Transplant Featuring Jenny Harrington, MPH, RDN, CNSC

Disclosure: DNS DPG does not endorse the Duke University Clinical Nutrition Fellowship program. Our topic for today’s episode is micronutrient considerations following lung transplant.  Lung transplant is a surgical treatment option for some patients living with end stage lung disease.  According to the American Lung Association, the intent of this procedure is to replace diseased lungs with healthy lungs in an effort to improve quality of life for people who have medical diagnoses such as COPD, cystic fibrosis and pulmonary fibrosis.  Our guest, Jenny Harrington, MPH, RDN, CNSC, is a dedicated and accomplished dietitian with experience in clinical nutrition and management. She currently serves as a Dietitian II at the University of California, San Diego, where she plays a crucial role in pre-and post-transplant nutrition assessments and collaborates with a multidisciplinary team to optimize patient care and outcomes. This episode was recorded on 11/9/24 and is hosted by Christina M. Rollins, MBA, MS, RDN, LDN, FAND, CNSC.
